Chronicles of Dark Paradise: Truth's GeneralA Story by ValargrimTruth stumbles upon the ancient evil and unleashes it upon the world. He cowardly hides and is seeking another to fight for him. A General with an Iron Code.Ages ago. Before our world was born. Truth, in his curiosity, stumbled into
the Darkness. Intrigued by another sentient being that matched his intellect.
He experimented. One experiment after another. Escalating. The Darkness became
angry. Truth’s arrogance led him to war. From the Darkness stepped a Demon. A
vicious creature. Other Demons to this day tremble in remembrance. The Demon
laid waste to the cosmos. Billions of stars succumbed. Truth was on the run. In
hiding he came upon a lowly peasant. The peasant had no name and did not know
his origins. A simple glow surrounded him. An unnatural distortion in the fabric
of reality. Truth offered him fame and riches. The man refused these petty
things. Arcing his hand out, “Do you see these people? They work diligently. Day
in and day out. Fearing that they too will fall to heel under the Demon. All I
ever want is to give them hope. A dream like they have never seen before. To
lift the darkness.” Truth taken back, “You do realize what this means? There
will be no return for you. Alone amongst the stars. A war for eternity.” The
man looks Truth in the eye, “What am I but a single man? Look around. I am
alone. What difference does it make if I am amongst the stars or down here
working my fingers to the bone?” © 2014 Valargrim |
